Abstract
Introduction and hypothesis: To confirm the performance and safety of the rechargeable sacral neuromodulation system (InterStim™ Micro) through 2-year follow-up, we report results from the fecal incontinence (FI) cohort through 6-month follow-up.
Methods: Eligible patients were enrolled following successful therapy evaluation and implant. Participants completed bowel diaries and questionnaires at baseline, 3, and 6 months post-implant. The primary objective was improvement in Cleveland Clinic Incontinence Score (CCIS) at 3 months post-implant compared to baseline. Safety was evaluated by collection of reportable adverse events (AE).
Results: Of 53 patients implanted, 90.6% were female and the mean (± SD) age was 58 ± 11 years. There was a statistically significant improvement in CCIS at 3 months vs baseline, with a mean change of -4 ± 3.7 (p < 0.001, n = 52). This improvement was maintained at 6 months, with a mean change of -4.0 ± 3.58 (n = 52). The mean change in Fecal Incontinence Quality of Life (FIQoL) at 3 months was 3.2 ± 2.8 (n = 52) and 3.6 ± 2.9 (n = 53) at 6 months. On the Patient Global Impression of Improvement (PGI-I), 94% (n = 52) and 90.6% (n = 53) of participants reported their condition was better at 3- and 6-month follow-up compared to baseline, respectively. The incidence of device-, procedure-, or therapy-related AEs in enrolled participants was 18.9% (10/53); among these was one serious related AE. There were no unanticipated adverse device effects.
Conclusions: The primary objective of the FI cohort was met, with statistically significant improvement in CCIS and patient-reported outcomes. These data confirm clinical performance and safety through 6 months post-implant.
期刊介绍：
The International Urogynecology Journal is the official journal of the International Urogynecological Association (IUGA).The International Urogynecology Journal has evolved in response to a perceived need amongst the clinicians, scientists, and researchers active in the field of urogynecology and pelvic floor disorders. Gynecologists, urologists, physiotherapists, nurses and basic scientists require regular means of communication within this field of pelvic floor dysfunction to express new ideas and research, and to review clinical practice in the diagnosis and treatment of women with disorders of the pelvic floor. This Journal has adopted the peer review process for all original contributions and will maintain high standards with regard to the research published therein. The clinical approach to urogynecology and pelvic floor disorders will be emphasized with each issue containing clinically relevant material that will be immediately applicable for clinical medicine. This publication covers all aspects of the field in an interdisciplinary fashion
